Your FAQ

Question: If the council help me, will I have to house one of their tenants?

Answer: The council does not own or manage any housing stock. You can use an approved Letting Agent of your choice to reoccupy the property. If you would like information about Letting Agents who may be able to help in your circumstance please contact our Empty Property Officer; Will Taylor on 01983 823040. Our intention is to help you get the property back into use for the benefit of the Island.
